This hotel was beautifully maintained, had great food and drinks, well kept, and staffed by courteous employees.
Upgrading to privelage status is worth it.
Only downside is the lack of beach. While there is plenty of coastline and beach access, don't plan on building sand castles. The beach itself is rocky, but the lagoon area offers great snorkeling, water activities, and swimming.
During booking we only saw favorable reviews. Weeks before going, the negative reviews started to scare us. Don't listen to the negative people, they must have pessimistic outlooks and be hard to please.
My wife and I would definitely recommend this hotel.

This is a nice hotel close to the beach and close to town. It's not a resort. The pool is fine and you can order food from the restaurant next door. It's a good place to stay for a very short period if you don't plan to spend too much time at the hotel. There's wireless internet, but it didn't work in our room.

If you are the traveler that love nature, appreciate simple, friendly and comfort this is a great place to stay in Boca Paila, Tulum. Beach front hotel, very roomy and clean bedroom/bathroom, nice terrace all with ocean view even the partial ones. Nice quiet place, romantic and other hotels on walking or scooter distance offer daily shows at night. The staff are super friendly, humble and very customer service oriented.
As room for improvement: I am hoping this hotel have sewer system because I learned all the hotels in Boca Paila are dumping their dirty/sewer water straight to the beach!!!! The pool area need some TLC, umbrellas and pool it self need some maintenance or upgrades. As for the guesses they leave their garbage (plastic/glass bottles) behind even in the beach, the hotel stuff does clean daily and keep the hotel tidy, but the visitors don't have any conscience how fragile is the eco system in that area. The hotel it self needs some minor upgrade and the buffet needs more variety and better preparation. Lastly, soft drinks and fruit waters should be included in the package. This last one is information not provided by expedia.

The Bric is just a really very pleasant little hotel in a great location just yards from 5th avenue and the hustle and bustle, but remaining quite and calm and thoroughly pleasant. The rooms are simply furnished but extremely clean and a pleasure to stay in. The pool is not large but was quite large enough to enjoy ourselves as a party of 4 adults, and is extremely peaceful surrounded by tropical plants if you choose not to go to the beach.
We'd thoroughly recommend the breakfasts too. At 100 pesos they're excellent value, including fruit with granola, & yoghurt, toast with flavored butters and marmalade, and a varying main course such as eggs, bacon and potatoes plus coffee and juice. Mary does a marvelous job and we found the different courses delicious every day.
The reception staff also are incredibly helpful, especially Hilda and Veronica who helped us virtually every day with tours and taxis.
If you're expecting 5 star luxury then of course you'll be disappointed but if you're looking for a straightforward hotel with a pool & clean rooms then we'd strongly recommend you give it a try. We've stayed at many of the 4 & 5 star all inclusives in the riviera maya & enjoyed our stay in the Bric more than any of them. In no small part down to the location in the heart of Playa Del Carmen - opportunities to enjoy the local cuisine abound and I'd strongly recommend people to stray off 5th avenue and try some of the smaller eateries; particularly on 10th ave & further north.
